Foreach strpos problem. Find string in another string

I'm trying to get this script to work.

The idea is that if the input string ($query) doesn't start with '/t' AND contains one of the $trigger words, an $error is set.

I can't get this to work and I'm not sure why.

<?php

    $error = false;

    $triggers = array('sell', 'buy', 'trade', 'trading');

    $query = 'buying stuff';

    if (!empty($query)) {

        if (substr($query, 0, 2开发者_开发百科) != '/t') {

            foreach ($triggers as $trigger) {

                if (strpos($query, $trigger)) {

                    $error = true;
                }
            }
        }
    }

    if ($error) {

        echo "fail";
    }
    else {

        echo "pass";
    }

?>

That should have triggered the error but it doesn't seem to be. What am I doing wrong?

If the function strpos fails to find the string it returns false. Also note that if the search string is found at the very beginning a 0 is returned.

Change

if (strpos($query, $trigger)) {

to

if (strpos($query, $trigger) !== false) {

change this to

if (strpos($query, $trigger) !==false ) {

checkout how strpos works

here is the problem :

  if (strpos($query, $trigger)) {

This evaluates to 0 if string is found at index 0, which causes IF statement to be false so use

(strpos($query,$trigger) !== false )

<?php

    $error = false;

    $triggers = array('sell', 'buy', 'trade', 'trading');

    $query = 'buying stuff';

    if (!empty($query)) {

        if (substr($query, 0, 2) != '/t') {

            foreach ($triggers as $trigger) {

                if (strpos($query, $trigger) !== false) {

                    $error = true;
                    break;
                }
            }
        }
    }

    if ($error) {

        echo "fail";
    }
    else {

        echo "pass";
    }

?>

Please use the "break" keyword, along with the proper checking.

Hope it helps.
